Persistent Uterine Cervical Dysplasia

Cytologically detected dysplastic changes are heterogenous cellular abnormalities with the majority of dysplasia regressing back to normalcy without any intervention. Persistent dysplasias, however, have a higher potential for progression to malignancy compared with nonpersistent dysplasias. We present the risk of progression of persistent dysplasia.

This study was carried out from 1976 through 1987 at a time when there was no information on the biologic behavior of dysplasia among women from developing countries. The study design and detailed procedures have been described elsewhere. '
